I cannot personally see how file permissions are an issue, let me try and elaborate:-

I can spider another site, everything works, indexes are made, no 'cannot create content file' error messages are seen.

I upload a file 'new.html', I have a file 'existing.html' which contains links and I add a link to 'new.html' and upload it.

When I spider 'existing.html' it checks all the other links and tells me that the file date is unchanged but does not seem to find 'new.html'.

If I spider 'full-url/dir/new.html' it finds it and indexes it.

I then greated 'new2.html' and uploaded it. I added the link to 'index.html'.

I then spidered 'full-url/index.html', and it looked at the whole site, it found 'new2.html' (and 3 others I uploaded) but all suffered from the 'unable to create the content file' message.

Then I tried indexing each one individually ('full-url/filename') and was told that the file date was unchanged.

It seems that my options are to delete and re-spider the whole site or to individually update files on their own from the front page and not use the update site page.

I am completely puzzled now , the only solution I can come up with is to go and have a pint or two.
